According to the old folklore calendar, Summer begins on Beltane (May 1st) and ends on Lughnassadh (August 1st), with the Summer Solstice midway between the two, marking MID-Summer.

DIY utility belts and bags on Pinterest. Steampunk belts on Pinterest. DIY Easy Hip Bag Mod. I mentioned a while back how much I've been digging Fiona's leather hip bag on Burn Notice: (I've had minor lower-back issues since college, so I only wear cross-body bags these days - but I know a hip bag would be SO much better on my back.)

Since then I've seen one or two crafty bloggers convert a regular purse into a similar style bag, and I've been itching to give it a try. Essentially it's just a regular purse with the strap attached to the sides of the bag instead of the top, so really the hardest part is finding a purse style that will work best on your hip. As luck would have it, I had this small cross-body bag from Beya (which cost a whopping $10) already tucked away in my closet: Technically you could take a bag like this and just slide the strap over your waist, but I wanted something a bit better.

Southern Hemisphere Circle Casting: Which Way?
By Jenwytch (This article appears in AXIS MUNDI Vol 3 Issue 7 – SPRING, September 2010) Confusion sometimes arises about the direction in which a sacred circle should be cast in the southern hemisphere. It is now generally accepted by the Pagan communities of Australia that the seasonal festivals be adjusted by 6mths in comparison with the northern hemisphere — eg. our Spring Equinox and associated festivals occur in September as opposed to March in the northern hemisphere — so it makes sense that we might also adjust our circle casting accordingly, to suit local conditions.

Imbolc 2014: Facts, Dates, Traditions And Rituals To Know. Esotericism. Exoteric. Exoteric refers to knowledge that is outside of, and independent from, a person's experience and is capable of being ascertained by anyone (related to common sense). It is distinguished from internal esoteric knowledge. "Exoteric" relates to external reality as opposed to a person's thoughts or feelings. It is knowledge that is public as opposed to secret or cabalistic. It is not required that exoteric knowledge come easily or automatically, but it should be referenceable or reproducible. Philosophical context[edit]
Magic of the Ordinary. Back in the 80s and early 90s there was a hush-hush piece of Golden Dawn lore used to separate the wheat from the chaff. It was seldom spoken about and, for some, served as a little piece of GD ‘one-upmanship’, a kinda hidden snobbery that could make you feel superior.
